You gotta compensate

with your downstroke.

Make your wing tips almost meet,

if you can, without stalling.

I can't curl my feathers enough, Grimble.

My wings are too short.

Well, they said Lyze of Kiel's

wings were short.

And that didn't stop him.

And you're gonna need to fly

a long way to get to the Guardians.

- The Guardians of Ga'Hoole?

- Yeah.

But how will we know where to go?

Well, you have to get to

the Sea of Hoolemere...

...yeah, where the Tree

is shrouded in ancient mists...

"Which keep it hidden from all but the

strong of purpose and the true of heart."

Yeah, exactly.

I'd come with you...

...but I still hold out the hope

of freeing my family.

Really?

- Kludd.

- Go!

Kludd, come with us!

Go, now!

Get them!

- Kludd!

- Your little owlets won't get away.

Soren! What do we do?

Soren, we have to go!

Wait. Kludd! Come on!

Now's our chance!

Well, what are you waiting for, son?

This is your chance to go home!

I am.

I am home.

- Eh?

- No.

Would you wound your queen, Grimble?

You're not my queen!

We need to jump now, Soren!

- Now! Aah!

Aah!

Come on, Gylfie! Flap!

Flap your wings!

No! Follow the owlets!

Follow the owlets!

Go, you fools!

Go! Go tell the Guardians!

Look! There! I see a way!

Where? Aah!

Gylfie, come on, follow me!

Faster, Gylfie. Come on! Faster!

I can't, Soren, I just can't.

I have to rest.

No, Gylfie. Come on, we have to!

Hey, wait. I think they're gone.

What? Are you sure?

I think so.

Hey, you know what?

What?

We're flying.

Does it feel the way

you thought it would?

No.

It feels much better.

What are we gonna do now, Soren?

We're gonna find

the Guardians of Ga'Hoole.

Grimble's death was unfortunate.

But you...

You had a chance to follow your brother,

yet you didn't.

I'm starting to think that you might

actually deserve to stay.

To be one of us.

Oh, I want that.

We offer power and purpose.

What can you offer us?

What can you offer me?

I...

- I have a sister.

- Go on.

She's young, but she's got spirit...

...and will grow into a strong Tyto.

Perhaps you could bring her to me.

Here the young ones are our future.

Are you hungry?

Why?

Watch this.

Hey! Oh, nice hunting.

You should be really proud of yourself...

...catching a moth thas already caught.

Wait. You hadn't caught it.

Mm! I was very close.

One might even say I was this close:

Extracted from DVD by

ForsakeN

- Perfect.

Ahem.

An ambush.

Well, I bet you didn't count on this.

I'm sorry.

We didn't mean to take your moth.

- It wasn't his moth.

Yes, it was.

We were just looking for a place

to hide and rest.

- In which order?

What do you mean?

Did you need to hide first

or rest first?

What difference does it make?

Huge! If you need to hide first,

I'd say you were in big trouble.

But if resting was on your mind,

I'd say your situation wasn't as dire.

We're on our way to

the Sea of Hoolemere.

We're gonna find

the Guardians of Ga'Hoole.

Really?

Two little owlets like you

will never reach the sea.

There are some really scary beasts

out that way.

Scary beasts?

If the hawks don't make a quick lunch

of you, then the buzzards will.

And if the buzzards don't get you...

...the dingoes wait in the trees

and as you fly by they...

Our request remains the same, owl.

Do you have a place to rest?

My friens hurt.

Name's Digger.

The hollow's this way.

Going to the sea, huh?

Yeah.

You know what they call owls

who fly towards the sea?

- Uh, no.

- Lost.

Is hilarious. I have another one for you.

What do you call an owl...?

Twilight! We've got company!

Put me down this instant! I mean it!

This is highly disrespectful!

Dinner is served.

And she will not stop talking.

Mrs. P! Is me, Soren!

Soren!

Oh, it can't be.

Every day, I've been looking for

you and Kludd, and then this.

To be snatched up by this monstrosity.

Monstro...? The audacity!

Digger, who are these tiny owls

and why are they talking to dinner?

My name is not "dinner."

Well, dinner's rather moody, isn't it?

Wait. She is not dinner.

She's my nursemaid.

I just hate being driven to hiss.

So unladylike.

Indeed.

Mrs. P, these are my new friends.

This is Gylfie and Digger.

And Twilight, is it?

Charmed to meet you, dinner.

Oh, I mean, Mrs. P.

These two are going

to the Sea of Hoolemere...

...to find the Guardians.

- Really?

What?

No, Soren, we need to get you home.

Your parents are so worried.

No, you don't understand, Mrs. P.

Kludd and I were kidnapped.

- Mercy!

- He's still held captive.

I have to find the Guardians.

They're the only ones that can save him.

An adventure afoot!

Danger. Intrigue.

The stuff of songs.

Oh, no. Not the lute.

But such things have no effect on me...

...for I am a poet as much as a warrior.

If you will...

Though his nursemaid tels him no

The boy will not be tamed

He flies off into danger

To be battered, bruised and maimed

Just because is sung

doesn't make it a song.

That poem just came to me,

if you can believe it.

- I think they can believe it.

- Is a gift.

Right, well, sounds like we've got

a long journey, so...

Mrs. P?

Look, you know is what

Da would want.

Thas just why I'm coming with you.

What? No! Please do not leave us here.

Yes, you're the first new souls

we've seen in eight moons.

If I have to hear any more

of his ridiculous owl jokes...

- They're a hoot!

- They are not.

Well, if I have to hear him play

one more quote-unquote "song"...

...l'm gonna tear my gizzard out!

How dare you?!

Les get out.

Please. Please don't go!

Do you even know the way

to the Sea of Hoolemere?

- Twilight knows the way.

- Of course I know the way.

We are off to the Sea of Hooladance.

- Is "Hoolemere."

- Hoolemere.

Hey, you know, Mrs. P,

you might be the first snake ever to fly.

You know, I think I am.

And I quite like it too.

Oh, my!

Shove it.

- My lord.

Hm?

Our work at St. Aegolius

is very nearly done.

The last of the flecks are on their way.

And I've brought you an offering

with beating hearts.

Your new soldiers. Tested and pure.

One in particular shows

exceptional promise.

I'll be the judge of that.

You. Soldier.

Step forward.

Yes, you're right to be afraid

in my presence.

What is your name?

- Kludd.

Speak up.

Ahem. Kludd! My name is Kludd.

There. Thas better.

Remember, weakness is for

the lower species...

...never for us.

Do you know why, Kludd?

Because we are Tytos.

Oh, I got another one.

- Knock, knock.

Please don't respond.

Who's there?

Don't encourage him.

Owls.

Owls who?

Here it comes.

Ha, thas right. Owls whoo!

I told you.

Because owls whoo. Funny.

Absolutely pathetic.

Is a very complex one, but is...

As the night falls, so do we

we fall asleep

we fall asleep

We continue to fall asleep

we fall asleep

For dreams, they come on highly

Shh! Shh!

We are now asleep

we are now asleep

You know,

I think that crow is following us.

Yes. I've had my eye on him for a while.
